The Old Man and the Gun

The Rafael theater had a member double feature today of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Old Man and the Gun.  I could not sneak out of work at 4pm for Butch Cassidy, but did see the new film, and it was a crowd pleaser.  I have only ever seen BCaTHK on TV, so big screen and those 4 blue eyes would have been awesome, but oh well.  TOMatG was funny, entertaining, etc, and Bob had much more charisma than in his last couple of flix…..so, even though there are about to be a slew of great movies to see, I recommend you go see The Old Man and the Gun.  When you watch Sissy Spacek, know that she totally bugs Chris because he thinks she always looks like she’s smiling.  See if you can watch her and not think of that….I can’t!

Recommendation #2 – stream Unleashed on Netflix.  Unleashed came out a couple of years ago, directed by a Marin guy and friend of MVFF named Finn Taylor.  It has some relatively known actors, and was a very charming story.  I can’t tell you more without spoiling it.
